About BSL Level 1
We follow Signature’s qualification scheme, which is designed to enable learners to communicate with deaf people in BSL on a range of topics that involve simple, everyday language use.
The qualification is split into three units, BSL101 / BSL102 / BSL103, each can be achieved separately.
To achieve the full Level 1 Award in British Sign Language, students must pass all the units.
| Unit | Title | Assessment | Assessed by |
| BSL101 | Introduction to BSL | Practical assessment of skills | Internally with the teacher |
| BSL102 | Conversational BSL | Conversation in BSL | Externally assessed with a Signature assessor |
| BSL103 | Communication in BSL about Everyday Life | Conversation in BSL | Externally assessed with a Signature assessor |
